Brown algae


Recommended Posts

Is it normal to have brown algae after setting up the tank a while? Does it have to be there before having good 'purple' algae?

Yes, very normal.

The diatoms are usually around, coralline will appear once the condition is suitable. U'll see little bit off 'purple' on your glass and you know it's started. I read that you need to have some coralline algae in the tank as seed but normally the LR I get will have some, more or less, so I guess you need not worry about seeding.

ya, dont be too worried about the diatoms, they are actually good food for fishes and even the little worms, copepods etc in your sandbed. Just wipe off those on your viewing panel for your viewing pleasure. :)
